Yeah getting males is definitely a concern but not much I can do about it. My space is very small, only 2 5g buckets fit in there, no extra room. I'm hoping to grow 2 nice females. However I can't even get started, I killed my new little seedling and my other transplant isn't do so well. I just built a muffler for my fan, am I happy with it, not really, anyways I used that foam that expands, after I thought it was all dry or close enough I put it all together, next day I open the cabinet and its an over in there, 93 degrees. My new sprout is curled over and the other didn't looks so well. I looked in my muffler and all the foam expanded to close it shut so no air was getting through. 
So yeah things could be better. I just selected 2 more seeds to germinate, hopefully these ones go well. After these 2 I have 16 seeds left.
After all my reading this is how I thought it was done, what am I doing wrong? I'll add mylar on top to my next batch, maybe light is getting to the roots. 
For a new plant
- 5g bubble bucket
- water filled 1/2" over bottom of 6" net pot
- 900ppm, 0-8-16 (lucas formula)
- 5.5ph is what it usually sits at, always between 5.3 and 5.8
- 1 - 100 gallon fish pump for bubbles on 2 4" air stones
- 200w 6500k CFL 6" from plant
- sprouted seed put in 1 1/2" rockwool cube
- rockwool sits on a plate with a plastic dome on it under light 6" until it sprouts to top of dome (2 1/2"), I spray rockwool 3 times a day so it doesn't dry out
- remove dome and set rockwool cube in a 6" net backet with hydroton rocks and set in bubble bucket.
- light stays 6" above plant and I mist rockwool so it doesn't dry out
Does all this sound right
